Silhouette Cameo Electronic Cutting Tool

Plus, the Silhouette Cameo is the only electronic cutter on the market that lets you work with your own fonts and images.

The creative possibilities of the Silhouette Cameo are as limitless as your imagination. Use it to make stencils, vinyl lettering, vinyl decals, magnets, custom apparel, paper crafts, temporary tattoos, stencils for etching glass, 3-D boxes, and works of art. Cut any font on your computer, download shapes, cut around your own full-color images, or transform computer-generated drawings into drawings on paper — all with the push of a button.

Best of all, there are no expensive cartridges to buy or store.

Like a home printer, the Silhouette Cameo plugs into your PC or Mac with a simple USB cable. However, instead of printing, it uses a small blade to cut your designs into a wide range of materials such as cardstock, vinyl, fabric, and heat transfer material. You can use the Cameo without your computer by inserting an SD memory card (not included).

You can customize the size of your designs to anywhere from ¼" to 12" wide and up to 10 feet long. Maximum media thickness is 31.5 mils (0.8 mm).

To get started with your Silhouette Cameo right away, be sure to check out our wide selection of starter kits, creative materials, tools, and accessories (sold separately).

Replacement Cutting Mats — These adhesive cutting mats have the ideal tackiness for holding paper and fabric in place. They are compatible with all Silhouette electronic cutting tools.

Silhouette Sketching Pens — These pens fit directly into the Silhouette blade holder, letting you transform any digital design into an original work of art. Just remove the blade cartridge, pop in a Silhouette Sketch Pen, and voilá — an artwork is born!

Silhouette Pen Holder — The Silhouette Pen Holder transforms your Silhouette Cameo or Portrait from a cutting tool into a custom sketching machine. Just remove the blade cartridge and insert this attachment, which can accommodate most ballpoint pens.

Warning — All electrical products have U.S. standard plugs and voltage. Due to damage that can occur when using incompatible plugs, sockets, or converters, Blick does not ship electrical items or accessories outside of North America or to freight forwarders.

This machine is wonderful and very easy to set up and use. The software is very easy to understand also but if you are needing more info there are a lot of great videos online (YouTube)for guidance or ideas. I love the Silhouette Cameo because you can create your own designs if you want and there are no cartridges to buy to limit you. It cuts paper and cardstock, even thick cardstock, and vinyl just great. So many uses and materials it can work with! Great for craft and gifts. The detail and precision is astounding. I'm glad that DickBlick carries the supplies for it. I can't say enough good things about it.

contrary to reviews that said they have to buy from silhouette site, i have only used it for my own designs made in corel. perhaps they didn't know how to import or open files. i also have a commercial cutter, but for quick little jobs, some more delicate papers and traveling to craft with friends, this is a great cutter. i use mine mostly for rhinestone templates.easy to set the blade and the conditions of the cut and to load things into it.

only cons are wish it cut wider and faster (compared to industrials it's a bit slow LOL)

The drawing software is very rudimentary. It can draw squares, circles and straight lines. Apparently there is no way to import designs you have created with more sophisticated software. This is designed so you will buy designs from the Silhouette Online store. Their designs start at about a dollar each and are for personal use only. You cannot sell anything you have made unless you buy the design for commercial use - starting at $8.00 for 1 -100 units, $20.00 for 101 - 1000 units and $50.00 for 1000 units FOR EACH DESIGN. The ten dollar card you receive "for future Silhouette purchases" is only for designs from their website. Their website said mine had a zero balance when I tried to use it, even though I had just entered it!

I love my cameo. It cuts beautiful & the FB Group is great for help from other users...There are also lots of youtube videos that can help with most issues....I would suggest Silhouette include 1 or 2 pieces of vinyl & transfer paper in the box so you can get started playing right away. thanks

So excited. I immediately used it to cut titles for my DiL to use in her wedding book and love being able to purchase just the designs I'll use. I practiced on cardstock for a beautiful lacy background and plan to cut it in vellum today and make monograms for notecards for my son's GF. READY to PLAY.
